Our Beliefs

Our beliefs are that of the Baptist Union of Great Britain.

We follow Jesus, who is revealed in the Bible as God in human form and is the absolute authority in all matters related to faith and practice. Our church, guided by His Holy Spirit, has the freedom to interpret what He says, and put this into practice in our own context.

Baptism is a necessary step for all who choose to follow Jesus and seek forgiveness for turning away from God. Baptism symbolises forgiveness both by the use of water (which washes) and by the identification with Jesus, who was himself baptised and who, according to the Bible, died for our sins, was buried, and rose again.

Everyone who follows Jesus is called to play their part in sharing His message.
